SHE PICKED WILDFLOWERS BY THE RIVER—UNAWARE THE DUKE WATCHED HER EVERY MORNING
Every dawn, while the house still slept, Eleanor Ashworth walked to the river alone — the only hour of her day no one had yet found a way to diminish. She didn't know a man on horseback had been watching her from the ridge for days. She didn't know he was the duke she'd been promised to since childhood, arrived under a false name to judge her before she ever knew there was anything to judge. And she didn't know that the moment he saw her kneeling in the wet grass, unguarded and unaware, he would stop being able to look away. What begins as quiet mornings by the water becomes something neither of them can walk back from — until the truth of who he really is threatens to destroy the one honest thing either of them has ever had. A slow-burn Regency romance about being seen for the first time, choosing honesty over rank, and learning that being chosen isn't something you have to perform for. A hidden-identity duke. A promised bride he's never met. A truth that can't stay buried by the river. If you love slow-burn historical romance, overlooked heroines who hold their dignity through every humiliation, and quietly devoted heroes who choose without hesitation — this one's for you.
